Regarding Twig's suggestion: I could totally do that! I live in glorious, glorious Portland, Oregon a.k.a. Best Town Ever, so I could take pictures of our Portlandia statue, our town square, and our block of isolated, cubic Awesomium (atomic number 1337). But I guess what I meant is that I'd like to see a return of the naked people. Those pics were super beautiful and I'd like to do anything I can to convince the people who used to do those to do them again, because they were so great, they made my head explode. But, obviously, anything we can do in that spirit is great, too. I'd love to see the naked people return but any kind of monthly calendar, featuring the human figure or not, would be great. I guess I'm saying, "remember the naked people!" even though something like that wouldn't have to be the "main" monthly desktop.
I want to say where I'm coming from: I do life drawing, so the sight of naked people doesn't really shock me anymore. I just saw the old ubuntu- calendar package and the pictures were so beautiful and contained so much positive energy that I want to do absolutely anything I can to get those going again. So, as we discuss a new monthly calendar, which is a great idea, I just want to say, remember me and the naked people lobby. Some people liked those! I know some conservative communities wouldn't like them, but that's merely why they should be tucked away in the package manager and not the default option. Ubuntu is meant to be for all cultures, and we're under no obligation to censor ourselves for the most restrictive community's standards (think about it, should we make sure that women have their hair always covered up in Ubuntu art so as not to offend communities were that is taboo?). When I saw that early Ubuntu art recognized that respect for human beings includes a basic reverence for the human body, I was so happy I wanted to cry. So, I will move heaven and earth and whether any storm of controversy to bring those back again. What can I say? Art makes me crazy, and I love people. -- revive ubuntu-calendar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
